Question On: FREE UPGRADE! 17 in E173FP Flat Panel Display

Hello:

About to order a new 4700, and see that they are offering a free upgrade to
the following monitor: FREE UPGRADE! 17 in E173FP Flat Panel Display

Is this a "good" monitor (I've never had a flat panel monitor before) ?

Realize that this is pretty subjective, but quality of picture wise, how dow you think it might compare to a 6 year old 17" Dell Sony Trinitron CRT monitor that I now have ?
(e.g., pixel spacing, etc.)

Thanks,
Bob

       I would think that output wise they should be pretty close. The difference will probably be in speed. Do you game with the Sony? If not when you factor in desk spece the edge goes to the LCD. If you do game the edge goes back to the Sony. My .02!

    The LCD will be clearer on text, use less power and all shapes are accurate. The Sony will have better motion (LCD's can ghost) and color more accurate, although newer LCD's are much closer to true color.
